MPSDC Symposium to take place on May 3rd and 4th, 2012

The Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics Consortium (MPSDC) will be holding its first Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics Symposium on Thursday, May 3rd and Friday, May 4th. This Symposium will feature both scientific sessions and workshops, and we expect the sessions to include not only Consortium members but also additional external invitees. Attendance is open to the public and will take place within the context of our 3rd Annual MPSDC Meeting, where all members, NIH representatives and our External Advisory Committee will participate.

This year the meeting will be held in downtown Chicago at the University of Chicago’s Gleacher Center located at 450 North Cityfront Plaza Drive, Chicago IL 60611.

This is a wonderful and centrally located venue that we think will enhance our interactions and allow for easy transportation to and from the meeting.

Overall, we envision the event to consist of two sections. First, the Symposium will occupy all of Thursday, May 3 and the morning of Friday, May 4. Our Consortium meeting will then follow Friday afternoon and is intended only for Consortium members, our NIH liaison and the External Advisory Committee.
